… to cook tea tonight. <\/p>\n
That’s no surprise, though. It was 19:25 (or something like that) the other night, 19:45 last night, and all of 20:40 this evening when I finished. <\/p>\n
I’d actually fitted one sheet of plasterboard onto the stud wall, but it has to come off and be refitted as it’s in the wrong place, and I ran out of time and energy.<\/p>\n
You are probably wondering why it took so long to fit it. The answer to that is that it’s not as straightforward as I led you to believe yesterday.<\/p>\n
Apart from the usual interruptions of the phone and of visitors, first thing that I had to do was to extend the flooring into the bedroom. I’d “overlooked” the fact that I hadn’t refitted the horizontal bracing to the stud wall at ground level. <\/p>\n
You may remember that I’d had to raise the level of the shower room floor and so I’d taken up the floor level horizontal bracing. And I hadn’t refitted it. And of course with the higher level of flooring it needed to be reshaped.<\/p>\n
Then of course there’s a quick way and there’s a proper way to do all of this and I’ve decided to do it the proper way. <\/p>\n
Consequently all of the framework is now on the end wall and the insulation is stapled in place but it isn’t nailed in with the counter-battens yet. <\/p>\n
I also still have these two holes to drill in the wall. But it’s all coming together quite nicely right now and we are making progress in leaps and bounds..<\/p>\n
Apart from that, you may remember a few weeks ago that I was talking about these Nova Scotia pages that I had half-written. <\/p>\n
Since then, I’ve been spending two hours each morning just after breakfast to bring them right up-to-date and this morning I posted the first batch on-line<\/a>.<\/p>\n have a good read – that should keep you out of mischief for an hour or two.<\/p>\n
